Lesson notes & sources
Your state entry route
Indiana licenses security guard agencies. State law allows an agency to employ unlicensed guards under its responsibility, with employee records maintained by the agency.
Ask your employer for its required induction, assignment training and any location-specific conditions before purchasing a course.
Verify the agency
Check the employer's active security guard agency license through Indiana's licensing resources.
Complete hiring checks
Provide the information, photograph and fingerprints needed for the agency's employee records.
Confirm the assignment
Ask which local, client or specialist-site requirements apply to your unarmed position.
Finish induction
Learn the site's reporting process, emergency procedures and post instructions before deployment.
Confirm your situation
Agency experience and insurance requirements apply to the business license.
A preparation certificate alone does not authorize security work.
Keep your sources current
